Its like a magic
I´ve got to have it
Whatever lies out of reach of me
And to despise it
Just magnifies it

Can´t obliterate the need

You´re bad news disguised
Dressed and painted with lies
But I just can´t see
When truth is concealed
How the danger appeals
But my conscience sees

I heard it from the preacher man
He said leave that boy alone
He´s no good for you
I heard it from the preacher man
He said heaven must have sent you
But the devil´s gonna get you
He´s gonna do it for you

You´re like a black cat

Who always knows that
It´s life is a mystery
You mesmerise me
And then you hypnotise me
´Til obsession devours me

You´re silky words soothe me
As they move me
To ecstasy
And just as I´m falling
I hear a voice calling
Don´t believe

I heard it from the preacher man
He said leave that boy alone
He´s no good for you
I heard it from the preacher man
He said heaven must have sent you

But the devil´s gonna get you
He´s gonna do it for you

You´re bad news disguised
Dressed and painted with lies
But I just can´t see
When truth is concealed
How the danger appeals
But my conscience sees

I heard it from the preacher man
He said leave that boy alone
He´s no good for you
I heard it from the preacher man
He said heaven must have sent you
But the devil´s gonna get you
He´s gonna do it for you
